Summary: Made in China
Comment: How disappointing. I was searching for a sled company that hasn't outsourced their manufacturing. I thought I had found it. Unfortunately, many of Mountainboy's sleds are now made in China (the "Classic" is made in China). Ugh! The search goes on. This is probably a great sled, but...not acceptable if you care about A.) economic diversity in the U.S., B.) worker's benefits (did you enjoy a maternity leave?), C.) U.S. jobs, and D.) the environment (these companies all tell you how much they love and trust the Chinese manager of their overseas operations, BUT China - even by the Chinese government's own admission - has a GOD AWFUL environmental record). I just bought a down parka from Feathered Friends in Seattle - the only remaining U.S. company that still makes their down gear IN the U.S. Perhaps I am too late to get a U.S.-made sled as well (to be fair, Mountainboy still manufactures some models in the U.S.). I hope that U.S. consumers and companies rethink their shopping/manufacturing habits/policies. It matters.


Editorial Reviews:

The Classic Flyer is what a runner sled should be: tough, with thick kiln-dried planks of beautiful northern birch and extra-thick powder-coated steel runners. Designed by a Colorado sledmaker and made entirely by hand, it features a unique pivot-front design that makes it the first runner sled you can slalom down on, avoiding obstacles and having the time of your life. Meets all USC and ASTM child safety requirements; marine-grade finish. Holds up to 300 pounds.
